Call For Fasting 3

Hello every one as we start this fast I felt lead to share some verses on fasting.

Matthew 6: 16-18 And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.

Isiah 58:6 “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?

Be strong during this fast, the enemy knows how powerful fasting is and will try to stop you by putting thoughts in your head of reasons to stop. Surround yourself in Gods presents with music and reading His word. Speak to God continuously He will answer. There is so much power in fasting it will change you God will give you an encounter with Him. Seek His answers and be sure you pray for others not just your self.

Job 42:10 - And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Hi allibear86,

I'm so sorry to hear what you just went through. Just remember, God will always be there no matter what. We put our faith and trust in humans and they fail us but God never will. Praying for you!

Well I ended up having lunch with my wife and our girls. It was so nice watching them play with each other I miss that so much. I didn't say much just watched I praise God for the little things.

I hope everyone is doing okay. Not too many updates from everyone on here. I've been fasting and things seemed to be going good but this last weekend was bad and we got into an argument. It's partly my fault because I can't trust anything he says. I honestly don't know how to continue in this marriage as our kids do not deserve it. I just sit alone and cry because I feel so hopeless. I feel my head spinning trying to figure out what is a truth and what is a lie. I think about how much better it would be to find someone that had character and fruits of the spirit as I know they are out there. I've seen my husband try but the doubt and the mistrust is so strong that even if he was telling me the truth I wouldn't believe him. I have questioned my whole marriage/relationship with him after seeing the things he was capable of lying about. This is not a life to live, none of us deserve to live this way. I guess I'm just writing to ask for prayers. I hope that everyone is doing ok and just know you are not alone.

Will be praying for you.

There has to be a level of trust otherwise those spouses don't have a chance. I felt every time I spoke with my wife when we talked that I was being fed a lie and I let that consume me to the point I didn't believe anything she said. That is not healthy for any marriage.



Not had any updates to post at all as my situation hasn't changed.

Found myself slipping back into a depressed state and I just cannot handle another bout with that right now so have been taking this time to evaluate some things as those feelings I once had for her are starting to grow more distant.

It was a humbling experience for me to realize that I was in a situation whereas I was helpless to do anything to fix a problem. That's where we have to put all of our trust in God.

Thank you Raven28690,



I'm sorry you went through that as I know the exact feeling. I don't even know what to do and feel that counseling is the very last resort. We've gone to three and missed a few several times. Our counselor even gave us an ultimatum. The thing is I feel that he's not serious about wanting to build the trust..you know how you just know? I was doing ok the last couple of weeks and now I don't know what has gotten into me, these feelings of hurt won't go away and I get depressed. I've lashed out at my husband and started to not care. It just hurts too much to care. I've felt strong attraction for other men and I know it's not right and I would never do anything but I've come to really hate my life and only feel that the only good out of this marriage are my two kids. I read scripture but don't really feel like it and I don't feel like I need to pray. I guess I just feel resentful. I know that this is the enemy at work and the reason we are all in the situations we are in. This battle just seems so hard sometimes. I will keep everyone in prayer and you are right Raven only God is able to do the impossible and fix it.

Walkingwithgod, i'm sorry that you have been having those feelings. When your husband says something, just take it. Respond as graciously as you can, whether he is telling the truth or not, and whether you know it or not. Just continue speaking with God and Jesus. Lean on them and leave your husband in their hands. If he is lying about anything, he has to suffer the consequences, not you. Just continue praying for him, especially when you dont feel like it because the enemy will try to do anything possible to get you to stop praying. Even though i dont really pray for my marriage anymore, i still pray for my husband's salvation and the other girl's because its the right thing to do. they need to turn from their sinful ways. Or else they will pay the ultimate price in the end. I will happily pray for and your husband.



Raven i'm sorry your also going through a rough time with your emotions as well. I hate that you get depressed but just continue trusting in our Savior. When you start slipping back into the depressed state, stand up and say NO!!! SATAN GET BEHIND ME IN JESUS' NAME!!!! Dont let him get you into that slump. You always have the choice to either let him do something or not do something. I refuse to let him take my joy anymore. When i start feeling sad or start feeling any type of negative feeling, i just draw strength and courage and peace from our Lord and He brings me that comfort because i know that He will heal my broken heart and bind up my wounds. I refuse to let my situation take my happiness. God knows what is going on and i trust Him to work everything out. I laid my marriage at His feet and left it there. I said God, do what you want with my marriage, but please just heal me. I pray for my healing and strength everyday. And He is healing me. I feel joy in my heart again knowing that God knows what He is doing. He doesnt need my help. All He wants me to do is trust in His way of doing things. And thats what i choose to do. Satan can kick rocks and kiss the blackest part of my (insert "A" word here) because i know that in the end, i win the ultimate battle.

One thing you have to realize is your spouse is not your enemy but is being held captive by the enemy. Do not take to heart what they are saying or doing because it is not them. Trust God alone and know He is there with you
